The Agency
Banana Republic launched The Agency, a five-episode comedy for TikTok about a struggling New York travel agency staffed by four identical employees, all played by Jack Innanen. The oddball setup gives the clothing brand a playful way into scripted entertainment, with Taylor Ortega arriving to tell the agency it must modernise or shut down.
Why it worked: It packaged a brand pivot as entertainment news by premiering a TikTok-native micro-sitcom with recognisable comedians and a surreal, memeable conceit.
The lesson: Consider launching a tiny, platform-native “pilot” with a celebrity-led, high-concept twist that reframes your product shift as cultural news.
